soup Archives - Ler Travel Diary 乐游记

4 October 2015

回门宴， Back home feast is defined as a feast for married couple to visit maternal house after 3 days of wedding. My sister and brother-in-law visited us on her third day of marriage. As we have many relatives, we decided to eat at Ban Heong Seng Restaurant. Ban Heong Seng Restaurant has been famous for its’ beggar chicken for decades. The most importantly it is a home based restaurant. It has this family oriented environment. Thus, we make the reservation one week ahead.

Ban_Heong_Seng_Restaurant_LerFoodie_018 — Beggar Chicken 叫化鸡 RM38.00

This chicken is stuffed with lots of herbs. Thus, the chicken meat is well marinated and cook. The meat is so tender soft. Each bite feel like meat floss. Interestingly,our family members are fighting for the gravy not the chicken meat. The gravy goes perfectly with the rice.

Ban_Heong_Seng_Restaurant_LerFoodie_013 — Arcar. A well marinated vegetable as appetiser.

The beggar pork hand is well cooked too. Mr. Ang, a person who dislike Chinese style cooking pork hand, also can’t resist the dish. This dish does not have pork smell and greasiness. Pork skin is famous for the collagen. I can’t help eating the pork skin for its tanginess.

This dish is very suitable for people who hate fish bone. The chef scraps the fresh off the skin. The fish fresh is mixed with vegetable and corn flour to make into fish paste. The paste is then carefully placed back into the fish skin to maintain the fish shape. The end result is as the photo above. Diners do not need to worry for the fish bone as it is actually fish cake.

3 May 2015

3 May 2015 is Wesak day. Wesak day is one of the most important festivals in Buddhist calendar. It commemorates three significant events in Gautama Buddha’s life – namely his birthday, his enlightenment and his passing away. Mr. Ang and I practice vegetarian diet on this auspicious day. During late afternoon, we stop by Min Corner to enjoy some oriental snacks.

Min_Corner001_Skudai — Traditional oriental snacks

Min_Corner002_Skudai — Barley ginko dessert drink RM3.00

Min_Corner004_Skudai — Ice Kacang RM5.00

Min_Corner008_Skudai — Traditional lao po biscuit RM1.50

The business is very good during late afternoon. We need to wait for 15 minutes for a seat. While other still queuing up for seat. I am very amazed to see all the servers use tablet to take down order. I don’t describe much on the dessert. As the dessert worth waiting for. I quite like the ice kacang and all the desserts.
